So, I dunno if everybody already has done this, but after gathering several fixes I've managed to get the Steam version of Fallout 1 running with the High Resolution patch and no color corruption.

Before I had to choose between the two, because I couldn't get sfall to run properly with the res patch, so it was either have a high res color nightmare or a low res eyesore. Not to mention the high res patch is not compatible with the unmodified steam version of the game.

This is a compilation of multiple fixes involving some different games so thanks to all that originally found different steps involved.

Once that is done, save it as "falloutw.bat" and save type "all files" and put it in the fallout directory with the falloutw.exe. This is a batch file that will turn off the explorer every time you start the game and turn it back on once you end it, which should fix the color isssues.

6. Run the batch file, set your desired resolution in the game options, and enjoy!

Possible to combine high res with windowed mode together? (and hopefully a drag-able window).
Also any possible ways to make the info/dialog box at the bottom left bigger? that spot is like smaller than my text message screen on my phone, its rediculous.

I done all of this exactly as you said, it definetly fixes the colour issues I had but for some reason it won't let me pick up or equip any items now. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem or if there is a known fix.

-Also, I just tried loading for the second time, and now when it loads there is just a black screen, no menus or anything so I can't play.

Just downloaded the complete trilogy from Interplay and had some color issues with fallout 1 and I can CONFIRM that this works for me! I'm running Windows 7 x64. Wonder if there is a fix for Fallout 2 and Tactics as well? THANK YOU THOUGH!
